Since the early seventies of the sixteenth century the first shape of the proportional compass is recorded thanks to Carlo Theti, a military engineer; the above mentioned compass can be considered a precursor of Galileo Galilei?s best known geometric and military compass. In his work Discorsi delle fortificazioni Carlo Theti describes another new instrument for measuring distance, height and depth more easily without attributing it a specific name. This contribution tries to show how these measuring instruments work, wich proved to be very effective.

Maria Assunta in località Pernosano, attuale frazione del Comune di Pago del Vallo di Lauro è situata ai margini del centro abitato, poco distante dalla strada provinciale che da Nola porta a Lauro (Fig. 1). È preceduta da un ampio sagrato e addossata in parte alla Congrega del Rosario. L’interno è ad un’unica navata con due archi sui rispettivi lati nei quali un tempo vi erano gli altari, oggi, completamente smembrati.

The building phases of the defensive walls allow us to retrace two main moments of the Renaissance military architecture. It is to say, from the original and most ancient example of a puntoni struts fortifications, about which we can relate thanks to the precious and detailed Ambrogio Leone de Nola’s description made at the beginning of 1500, to the renewed defensive rampart body designed by el comendador Luis Escrivà during the Toledian period. A thorough recon of the iconographic sources, the regarding of the specialistic historiography, the contemporary theoretical assumptions and, most of all, a thorough recon of the still visible traces in the urban fabric and those emerged during the re...

Its position is strategical relevant and makes it possible to control the surrounding lands and the natural route that leads to the valley of the Sabato, through Monteforte Irpino pass. The aim, then, of the “Avella Monumental Archaeological Park” project is of realizing an integrated complex that could well represent a whole site under the landscape and archaeological profile. The park project starts whit the aim not only of preserving, promoting and developing knowledge, studies and research, but also to increasingly facilitate the growth of the cultural tourism sector and to reach an ever wider number of visitors.
